The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. Closes Acquisition of iSun Energy LLC, Changes Name to iSun, Inc. and Ticker Symbol to ISUN

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISUN) ( “iSun”), formerly The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. (“Peck”), a leading commercial solar engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) company and iSun Energy LLC (“iSun”), a provider of innovative solar power, electric mobility and smart city solutions for government, commercial, retail, academic and data-center projects, today announced that they have closed on the acquisition of iSun Energy LLC, announced on January 5^th, 2021.

Merger Rationale

iSun (formerly Peck) established a dominant position over the past 50 years as a leading electrical and data contractor, as well as the largest solar EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) in Vermont, focused on high-quality commercial, industrial and small-utility scale solar projects. It has constructed over 200 megawatts of solar projects to date (enough to power 38,000 homes). Despite COVID-related challenges last year, there were no project cancellations. Peck has been executing a disciplined growth plan since becoming a public company in June 2019, and an accretive merger & acquisition strategy has been a top priority. Acquiring iSun and the iSun® Brand and its innovations is consistent with the Company’s evolution toward serving its customers as a full-service energy solutions provider. Furthermore, adding higher margin products and energy services will have a positive impact on typical solar EPC margins. Combining a profitable EPC business for solar, electrical and data contracting with award-winning products and platforms that are modular, scalable and connected is a powerful combination that differentiates the Company from other solar or EV (electric vehicle) charging companies.

Highlights

• iSun now trades on Nasdaq as ISUN and replaces PECK
• iSun near term pipeline across New England, New York and other locations to be announced shortly.
• Combined group backlog reaches USD $60M

• Industry experts anticipate 100 GWs of solar infrastructure will be constructed over the next 5 years, representing 50% growth.¹

Management Commentary

Jeffrey Peck, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of iSun, commented, “The acquisition of iSun Energy LLC and name change of Peck to iSun, Inc., came to a swift closing due to great coordination and aligned interests. Our teams are already collaborating together on a number of new opportunities that have become available to us since our announcements. We appreciate the diligent approach to the process by Sass Peress and team, and welcome them to the family. As our new Chief Innovation and Experience Officer, Sass has been empowered to deliver innovative solar energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and smart city technologies that we intend to incorporate into our basket of goods shortly. The importance of sustainability is a growing metric for governments, organizations and corporations around the world. In order for a growing audience to learn more about the good we do, the iSunOS platform will report on the total carbon reduced by our combined solar ground mount, rooftop, carport and other clean energy or mobility products. Sass will also contribute his experience in Investor Relations, Marketing and Business Development to our new growth opportunities. We welcome Sass to our executive team and look forward to many years of partnership.”

Sass Peress, Founder of iSun Energy LLC, added, “Executing this swift closing would not have happened without the tremendous work by our combined teams. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a great company and will focus ourselves on the delivery of enhanced experiences for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders, so that the iSun® Brand continues its leadership in sustainability. Having first coined the iSun brand in 1999, and now having it on the NASDAQ exchange as a ticker symbol, is something I could have never dreamed of. We will now take the brand and our company to heights that aim to engage, inspire and elevate. Novel technologies in development, alone or in partnership, will provide enhanced revenue opportunities, while the existing business delivers great execution and contribution to financial performance.”
